My latest trigger is that look people get when you tell them you don't use #facebook or threads... and you use forums and the #fediverse... and you don't use #spotify or #netflix... you have a #nas with content... or you don't have #amazon prime, you shop at smaller shops... you can see them judging you like, "oh your one of those insufferable types."
How did we people get this way? they roll their eyes when you don't worship the corporations and trust them with your data... they just use streaming services and own nothing and get annoyed when you say, "I don't have spotify." ... and they huff at you if you don't support the biggest mega-corporations. This is manufactured consent on a level I don't even think Noam could have predicted (he did though).
